I bought video editor app LumaFusion for £30, I tried editing a video but it doesn’t work, I contacted their support and sent a sample video I’m trying to work with, they said they can reproduce the issue but don’t know why it doesn’t work and suggest encoding the video on PC with a different codec. I requested a refund next day via the website and it was rejected. I went on Apple chat support and they said because I already requested a refund and it was rejected they cannot change that decision and there’s nothing they can do. I’m stuck with a useless app and no refund… Any ideas what can I do to get a refund?

Update: Apple doesn’t give refunds for app purchases, even my bank couldn’t help despite the fact I used a credit card.

      I was convinced my bank will give me a refund as I used a credit card, so it’s their money kind of, I told them via a chat I didn’t recognise that transaction, they said they will put a block on transactions from apple for 12 months and to call their fraud department, so I did, spoke with them for 20 min and in the end they couldn’t refund it because they can see I used my iPad to buy that app. After that I tried speaking with their senior advisor, been on a call for 33 min with them, the guy was trying to dispute it with their accounts department and in the end said they can’t change their decision as that app in not eligible! Shocked. Lesson learned, apple in UK doesn’t give refunds for apps, maybe they used to in the past but they don’t anymore…
